Not a bad suggestion.

In fact, this would reduce the effect of a high scoring round on teams that simply got lucky. However, it also would bring a team that got unlucky for one round WAY down in the standings. Maybe. It's hard to say. Perhaps we're on to something here, maybe it should be more like seeding was last year.

First tried to give a heavy multiplier for winning a match, but that only magnified the effect of a high scoring round. 1620 QPs for one round? Easy top 16.

One last comment. In the finals, teams are ranked solely on wins and losses. Why should the goal of the QMs be different than that of the finals?

What do all of you other highly opinionated people think? (it's scary how well that describes me)
